Academic Integrity
You are expected to submit your own work for all assignment unless colloboration is allowed. If you are caught with work submitted that is completely copied from some other source (including current or former ESE112 students), or that has been prepared by somebody other than you, you will face severe discipline by the university.
You can further read Penn's Code of Academic Integrity page on this subject matter.
